alright guys i want to talk about this tusk clutch. it was installed brand new on my bike when i did the rebuild. it had about 20-25 dyno pulls and two trips to dumont both time i only made it up the hill a couple times til i ran into issues that ended the day for me. second time around was this clutch, it got smoke like swishersweet!
the clutch springs were new 250r HD springs and all fibers and plates were brand new. i have a lockout which i thought would prevent this from happening or at least prolong this. let me know where i went wrong? or was my mistake simply going with a tusk? im gonna be buying a new clutch soon, is OEM the only way to go for me?
here are the pics first three fibers are converted to steels lol the rest as you can see were about to break also...
